Just when Sasha was full of anger and wanted to refute Paula, she saw Helen wave at her. Seeing this, she sighed. She understood what her mother was trying to tell her. If she refused them outrightly, Paula would definitely make a fuss and her family would never get peace.
After giving it some thought, Sasha replied, “Aunt Paula, we can’t deal with this with such hurry. Why don’t I think about it and give you a reply in two days?”
Paula was sullen. “Why do you need two days to deal with such a small matter? What kind of a president are you if you can’t even arrange a manager position? Are you sure you’re capable of being president?”
Norman waved his hand and said, “Well, in my opinion, Sasha lacks courage and is completely incomparable with Jojo. We are your relatives but you dilly-dally when we ask you to do something. Let me be frank—if Jojo was the president and you asked her to give you a job, she would surely treat you well! With just a simple order, she would be able to give you a managerial position. However, when it comes to your capabilities, I think your company will go bankrupt under your management sooner or later.”
Sasha felt as if she was about to go mad. According to what you said, why don’t I directly let Jojo become the president? Don’t you know your daughter’s capabilities? If she really was a capable person, why are you here asking me for a job? Gritting her teeth, Sasha said, “Aunt Paula, I just started working as the president not long ago. There are many company affairs that I haven’t fully grasped yet so I need some time to make arrangements.”
Paula pouted and said, “Well then, since we’re relatives, I’ll give you a day’s time. I want to hear a reply from you at this time tomorrow night, understand?”
Looking at her attitude and hearing her tone, she doesn’t seem like she’s asking for a favor at all!
Forcefully suppressing her anger, Sasha muttered, “Okay.”
Paula nodded. “Well then, it’s decided. By the way, where are we staying tonight? Sasha, you’re the president of your company so you should make arrangements for us. Jojo is a little bit of a clean freak. There was once we stayed in a four-star hotel and it was so dirty that she couldn’t get a good night’s sleep.”
Sasha was stunned. Wow, are you telling me that you can only stay in a five-star hotel? The two of you are just a local clerk and small shop owner back in your hometown. You should be grateful to be able to live in a motel. How could you request to stay in a five-star hotel? Do you even know what a five-star hotel looks like?
Sasha wanted to rebuke them but at that moment, Matthew walked over and smiled as he said, “Sasha, I’ll help arrange their accommodation. Uncle Norman, is a five-star hotel okay?”
Norman and his family were overjoyed to hear this and they nodded vigorously. “Sure! Matthew, I didn’t know that you were this capable.”
With a smile, Matthew nodded and said, “Come, I’ll take you there.”
With that, Norman and his family immediately left the house. Sasha followed behind and handed Matthew her wallet.
Matthew waved his hand and said, “I don’t need it.”
Sasha was surprised. “Why? Do you have cash on you?”
Matthew smiled faintly and whispered, “Just leave it to me.”
After they left the house, Matthew made a call to Tiger and asked him to make arrangements.
Matthew then drove Norman and his family to a five-star hotel and they reached the entrance in ten minutes.
He even personally sent the three of them upstairs. Before he left the room, he casually patted the bed and spread some powder on it. It was a new medicine that Matthew had formulated.
Uncle Norman, you and your family won’t be sleeping peacefully tonight. Do you really think that it’s a good thing that you get to sleep in a five-star hotel?
